RUNNING

maximillian Posts: 1 Joined: 2003/02/15	2003/02/15, 06:10 PM I've started running a few weeks ago. I run 3 times a week for about 30 to 40 minutes. I want to know do I have to increase the food intake or should I be eating regulary like I have been eating until now. More protein or carbohydrats? ---------------------------- Maximillian

I run for about 15 minutes at most about four times a week and I play basketball twice a week on the days I don't work out. Do you think I need to run a lot more to help me lose excess fat and tone up on the areas I want (ie lower chest and abs)?

For exmaple- two ppls who run this same distance (or kilometers per week), can be in very diferent shape. If you do 15 min jogging, it is feeble - but 15 min of serious RUN, can be enought. As your overal fitness grow, you can work on lengthening distance or at the same distance increase speed.
